Abstract
Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, is known for its scenic landscapes, rich biodiversity, and natural water sources. Among these, springs locally called dharashave always been a vital part of the city's everyday life. These springs, fed by rainfall and groundwater recharge, provide water for drinking, household use, and agriculture. They also support urban greenery and hold deep cultural and religious meaning. But despite their importance, many springs are now at risk due to growing urbanisation and environmental changes.
